and Air Force. Brown married into the Pratt family,
founded Texas Eastern (an oil firm), and is director of
ITT, TWA, and the Brown Foundation.
The Brown-Johnson association began in 1940, when
Johnson secured a lucrative contract for Brown & Root to
build a large naval base at Corpus Christi, Texas; it was
said then that any course chosen by Johnson would be
paved by money from Brown & Root. J. Evetts Haley
pointed out that Brown & Root prospered on government
contracts after Johnson helped them and rapidly became
a worldwide operation.
In 1940, the Internal Revenue Service found that large
contributions given to Johnson by Brown & Root and its
subsidiary, Victoria Gravel Co. -- as much as $100,000
each -- were taken by Brown & Root as tax deductions.
Haley states:
"Brown & Root were in control of Texas politics; that L.B. Johnson was in
control of IRS; that records had been burned at IRS to get Brown off the hook
in 1954. Johnson and Connally then picked up a government plant for a
small sum which became a giant wartime contractor, the Sid Richardson
Carbon plant at Odessa, Tex., in which Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson had a onefourth
interest."
In 1955, Johnson suffered a major heart attack on his
way to George Brown's palatial Middleburg Va. estate.
As mentioned, Brown is a director of Halliburton, whose
primary law firm is also Vinson and Elkins. In 1981,
Halliburton had $8.3 billion revenues, 110,398
employees, and daily monitors most U.S. oil wells. In
